What the Masters have Suffered – Maybe it was the Same or More than Ours - (815)

Sometimes

Sometimes if I am clear enough when I am suffering I think about Master Samael and all those who have obtained their self-realisation.

We Think They Didn’t Suffer

We tend to think that they did not suffer. Maybe now having their self-realisation and no ego and no karma they don’t suffer, or who knows maybe they do on some level or in a way that we don’t know about or understand, but for sure on their way to their self-realisation they suffered. Master Samael said this many times.


Maybe They Did

Maybe they even suffered like we are suffering just now. Maybe the exact same thing that is making us suffer is also what made them suffer. Maybe the impression that is making us to be feel pain, unhappiness, sadness, emptiness etc. they also experienced and felt. Maybe they passed through the exact same thing. Maybe what we think we can not pass through or overcome they also felt that they could not overcome either.
We know though that whatever suffering they experienced they overcame it. Which is good news.

We Can Too

What they suffered they overcame and they are now complete and in their Being and in their Being there is the full and authentic happiness of Being.
So then we can do the same, maybe not as quickly but we can do the same and when we do it we will be happy, alive and complete. This may seem like mediocre motivation talk, but seriously what are the reasons why we can't overcome our own suffering, especially if we created it in the first place?

Why Can't We?

I ask why can’t we do the same? Maybe it is just that we think that we can’t. Maybe we think that because we are not Indian, Mexican or Colombian or Asian or Egyptian that we can’t do it. Maybe because we are westerners and use the computer too much or that because of this and that we can not do the same, but really what overcame suffering in the masters was their consciousness and their Being, and if we use our consciousness why can’t we do the same? Our consciousness is made up of the same material and it works in the same way.
It is all in our mind that we can not do it, the truth is that the consciousness does it and the consciousness in all of us is the same, and the consciousness has nothing to do with being oriental or western or male or female etc.

Conclusion – A State of Maintained No Suffering Exists

Because the Masters suffered and overcame their suffering, and maintained themselves free of that suffering it shows us that suffering is not the way, and that there is a truth that exists that is greater than suffering and holds one in a state of no suffering. The enlightened ones would not chose the wrong way - the way of suffering, there must be a truth that is greater and is outside of suffering.
Just to know that that state exists and that special understanding and truth that liberates and maintains us outside of suffering exists, is all that we need to know to start to work to get rid of suffering. If we know that we will be better off, and that all we have to do is to push and push until we get there or start to get there that is all we need to start to put our heart into to get there - free of our own suffering. The Masters have shown us that it exists, so it is real, non-suffering exists and if we created suffering and our consciousness undoes suffering , and we all have the same consciousness then we can do it, it is a matter of using our own consciousness, or trying and trying until our consciousness one days kicks in and gives us a huge kick of a revelation or insight that changes that suffering.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
